Under high light intensities, if the ambient concentration is gradually increased from to , which of the following plants will exhibit a continuous increase in its rate of photosynthesis?
Options
- ASugarcane
- BTomato
- CMaize
- DSorghum
Correct answer
B. Tomato
Step-by-step solution
Sugarcane, Maize, and Sorghum are plants, whereas Tomato is a plant.
plants show saturation in the rate of photosynthesis at about of . Therefore, increasing the concentration from to will not increase their photosynthetic rate, as they are already saturated.
plants respond to increased concentration and show saturation only beyond . Thus, as the concentration is gradually increased from to , a plant like Tomato will exhibit a continuous increase in its rate of photosynthesis.
Answer: Tomato
